Letters Can Be Mailed at Trains.

A number of papers have of late - published an item to the effect that .letters could not- be mailed at trains. The item was erroneous and the postoffice department has sent to all the railway mail service employees cir- : dulars calling attention to the postal I regulations requiring postal clerks ■to accept ail prepaid mail matter offered them at their cars, and to forward it to the destination. Equities have been received at the departI fflent from every section of the country indieatiDg~a"mTsundef 7 standing, due, it is stated, to the p üblication of a number of articles ih’coTrtcfiy intimating that the section of the regulations making the obligation has been repealed. The rule is declared to be still in force and refusal to comply will render clerks liable to dismissal unless special authority has been given.
